【正确答案】Candidate A
A: A couple open a door, finding the floor full of toys. The house is full of different toys. It is messy, so the wife says to her husband: "If you keep on buying him toys, I bet we won't find him in the piles of toys any more." It shows that parents sometimes spoil their children too much. If parents buy their kids too many toys, the kids don't know which one they love best. That's a waste of money.
一对夫妇打开门后只见一地的玩具。这房子到处都是不同的玩具。房间很凌乱。妻子对她的丈夫说:“如果你继续给他买玩具,我打赌我们在玩具堆中将找不到他了。”这表明,有时候父母太溺爱他们的孩子。如果父母给他们的孩子购买太多的玩具,孩子们将不知道自己最爱哪一个。这就是浪费金钱。
B: I quite agree with A. Now in most Chinese families, there is only one child. They are often considered as the little emperor of the family. Children raised in such families can easily be spoiled. Parents always try their best to satisfy what the kids want. They don't want to say no to them. In the long run, that won't do the society any good.
我很赞同A的蜕法。现在中国大多数家庭都只有一个子女。他们通常被当作家里的小皇帝。在这种家庭长大的孩子很容易被宠坏。父母们总是尽力满足孩子们的需求。他们不想对孩子说不。从长远来看,这将不会对社会有任何的好处。
Candidate B
B: A man is chopping down another tree in this area. Behind him, there are four stumps. A squirrel, a deer, a rabbit, and some monkeys are trying to run away as quickly as possible. Cutting trees for short-term profits breaks the balance of the nature. It will lead to climate disaster and cause damage to our offspring.
一个人正在这个地区砍另一棵树。在他身后,有4个树桩。一只松鼠、一只鹿、一只兔子和一些猴子正试图尽可能快地逃跑。为了眼前利益而砍树破坏了大自然的平衡。这将导致气候灾难,同时危害我们的后代。
A: As we know that many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction because their habitats have been destroyed. With the spread of cities, more and more buildings occupy the territory, which used to be the home of the wildlife. Moreover, the noise of city life also drives some wildlife away. Under such circumstances, the number of wild animals will decline largely. Thus the environment will change greatly, unfavorably of course. It will lead to climate disaster. So the environment protection is not only for the wild animals, but actually for our human beings.
我们知道,许多野生动物正面临灭绝的危险,因为它们的栖息地已经被摧毁了。随着城市的扩建,越来越多的建筑物占据的领地,都曾经是野生动物的家。此外,城市中的嘈杂生活也使很多野生动物离开了。在这种情形下,野生动物的数量将大幅下降。因此,环境将发生很大改变,当然这是不利的。这将导致气候灾难。所以保护我们的环境不仅是为了野生动物,而且是为了人类自己。
